Comment: Gave a typically tenacious display to win 16-runner Listed race at Royal Ascot in June on his first crack at 1m2f; respectable, running-on third back over 1m for Group 2 there four weeks ago, so it looks as if about 1m2f is indeed his trip these days and he looks set for a bold show.

Comment: Left the Bottis after penultimate start; only second race over as far as 1m2f when straight back to his best in five-runner Listed race at Newbury (good to firm) three weeks ago, asserting in the final 1f; needs to find a bit extra in this company but that was a cracking start for his new stable.

Comment: Best turf form when just over 2l sixth of 16 in Listed race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) latest start, a race which Haatem won but this 5yo gave him 3lb and eventually ran on well after trouble in running; on that evidence there's not much between them and they are leading contenders.

Comment: Staying-on sixth of 16 in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (1m, good) in May and suited by the step up in trip when close third of 18 in the Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June, both of them French Classic races; the big problem is his flop at Royal Ascot (1m2f Group 3, good to firm) but he's one to take very seriously if that can be forgiven.

Comment: Won a strong conditions event over 1m1f at Goodwood last year on good to firm but missed the same race last week when the rain arrived; career-best RPR when fourth in 1m2f Saudi Group 2 in February and although he came last to Haatem in Royal Ascot Listed race (second in it last year) in June, getting badly hampered accounts for that; major player if the ground is okay.

Comment: Had threatened before getting off the mark at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft), coming from off the pace to beat a solid yardstick; still appeals off 6lb higher; entered back at Newmarket on Friday (8.14).

Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa Trainer: Ian Williams Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 3-60636 OR: 67

Comment: Wasn't exactly strong through the line when third on the step up to an extended 1m2f at Chester but was enterprisingly ridden; no surprise that 1m4f seemed too far at Ascot; visor now tried and, if ridden with possible suspect stamina in mind, she could have a part to play; also entered at Ascot (3.55).

Comment: Gelded prior to never landing a blow at Ascot last time; remains attractively handicapped on his rock-solid spring efforts, and registered his sole success in C&D event (good to firm) this time last year; interesting returned to this venue and dropped back in grade.
